My car has a rear differetial which has a longitudinal joint in the casing which I think means its is Electronic rather than viscous.

This seems to have an oil drain and refill plugs on the LH side. Having drained the oil (not much came out. And I certainly cannot get anywhere near 0.6 litres back in.
Can anybody suggest what I might be doing wrong?

He doesnt mention if it has ELD (it would be easier to know if he'd let us know the year of the model).
But coming from someone with a VC-version, I'd say its difficult to accidentally drain the actual coupling... afaik it sits between the propshaft and rear differential housing. (the only part of the assembly I couldnt open and fiddle with)

Thanks for the replies. I don't think it was a viscous coupling that I tried to drain. It was the only two hex head bolts on the side that looked like drain and fill.
I will check out the link. And try to post a photo so that you can see what I am referring to
Cheers
Malcolm

Agreed. My car does not have ELD on the dash. I also think the Electronic controlled versions have a joint in the diff casing which runs from front to back. Anyway I will phot this and show people which "drain" and "fill" screws I am referrring to.

Thanks for your reply. That picture is straight.
You can see the exhaust pipe behind. Which runs pretty horizontal along the vehicle. I am now waiting in hope for my copy of the French manual I have ordered, shown in one of the earlier replies

Sorry slightly off straight. I thing the bottom of the diff casing just above the word fill, should be horizontal. That still shows a height difference. More to the point though, there are no other fixings that could've considered as fill and drain
